I have been working on a bitbake -native recipe to that runs a script similar to python-env to generate some files in ${D}/var/.
SUMMARY = "Toolkit installer"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
PN = "my-tools-native"
inherit native bin_package
COMPATIBLE_HOST = "x86_64-linux"
SRC_URI = "file://${TOOLKIT_INSTALLER}"
PV = "${TOOLKIT_RELEASE_VERSION}"
do_install() {
# Extract native tools
${TOOLKIT_INSTALLER} -d ${D}/var/mytools
}
do_clean() {
rm -rf ${D}/var/mytools
}
The first run works as expected. and the files are generated in ${D}/var/mytools. I run -c cleansstate/clean/cleanall, and the files in ${D}/var/mytools are removed as expected. After this any subsequent runs fail to populate ${D}/var/mytools
As far as I can tell, something about my setup makes it so that my stamp files are the same between cleans. I just dont know what I can do to work around my issue
I have tried "do_fetch[nostamp] = '1'" and that seems to force a re-run everytime, but the tool installation is costly and I do not want everything depending on this recipe to re-run as well.
I have found my issue, it looks like I should not be overwriting the do_clean
method. Doing so prevents the STAMP_DIR
from being erased and triggering a rebuild.
If there are any extra steps needed in the clean process I did the following:
do_special_clean() {
# special clean example
rm -fr ${TMPDIR}/work-shared/mytools
}
addtask do_special_clean before do_clean
